Magic School! [Open]

[OOC: It's exactly what it says on the tin: magic school! Where the more magically apt teach those less so to use what they've been unwillingly given. Feel free to make subthreads to teach or to learn, and assume this is all taking place in the park on the same(ish) day.]

[ You wanna know how to move things with your mind? You wanna make things flare up in light and fire and all kinds of awe inspiring bullshit but NOT get yourself killed?

Or did you just hurt yourself in one of the other lessons and need a doctor? Here's Bones, Medkit in hand, scowl on his face, glowering at the whole congregation. ]

[ People need a target and York can take a beating. Well.

In the suit he can take a beating and he can get out of the way pretty quick if he needs to. Might take him a little while to wander on back to the park but he'll make it eventually. So here's him, suited up, helmet on his hip, grinning his wide jackass grin. ]

Seriously. Bet you can't hit me.

[Wash is here to bust his ass and get better - as far as he's concerned, it's another training session, albeit with a lot of people who are better at this than he is and hopefully willing to share their expertise. He might approach you for help; he might be practicing on his own; or he might be hanging out in the shade of a tree, with every protein bar and water bottle he could get from the apartment's self-replenishing fridge, which turn out to be quite a few. He's willing to share, but he won't listen to complaints; if you want orange slices, you can go find a soccer mom for all he cares.]

[Celestia has only light here, a sharp loss of power and strength from her home. But she also has years upon years of experience with magic, and education both theoretical and practical. So the alicorn is on hand to offer whatever she can, be it advice or practical tutoring or therapy, as the case may be.[

_{[ Kirk had come because despite how much he did not want to believe in magic, that seemed a reality here didn't it? It messed with his head, but he was sort of discovering he had a knack for electricity and the electrical things around him. Didn't mean he had any damn control over it, of course, and he had a nasty habit of shocking himself and sometimes others.

So you can find him sitting down concentrating hard on what looks to be a music player, the music going in and out as he tried to work the basic controls. The music is as rock as he can find, though he was beginning to wonder if something of a more instrumental and classical bent wouldn't help. That was supposed to help with concentration and IQ right? Naw. Rock was more fun.

And whoops, there was an especially loud squeal of guitars followed quickly by a yelp as he touched the machine and got himself shocked - again. ]}

This is getting old.

[What's the first thing you learn in every video game? Throw a fireball.

And yet Casey can't even seem to manage that. You have to make enough fire to form into a ball, and then you have to form it into a ball and fire...just kind of catches on everything.

Long story short, what flies through the air isn't a fireball so much as a burning fingerless glove that slipped off his hand.]

Whoops! Heads up!

[Hopefully someone will stomp that out.]

[ Greg's not really sure why he's here, being honest. Besides getting dragged along. As far as he knows, no one has the same sort of magic as he does, so they can't teach him how to use it better.

As is, he's just popped a few seed packets into the dirt, and sat back with his guitar in wait for things to develop.

Yup. He's literally watching grass grow. He may or may not have fallen asleep. ]

[Luna's been here long enough to get used to having only water magic, though the sharp loss of power is still something of a sore spot. She's got plenty of general magic experience though, as well as the ability to attack you from the air like some kind of flying hooved demon spawn.

...speaking of, she's also willing to teach you all how to not make Shadow deals, you bloody idiots.]

[Rose waits for her class to arrive, before standing in front of them- even if it turns out to just be one person- and starting things off with a talk.]

So... magic.

I've never really been a teacher before, but I do have plenty of experience with it. For Gems, my people, it tends to come very naturally. It works differently for everyone- some need to focus, some need to relax- it's very much something connected to our emotional state. And so far as I can tell, the magic here seems to be very similar.

So, if you've tapped into your magic before, try and remember what you were feeling in that moment, and try to replicate it. Keep practicing, until it's second nature- until even in the middle of a raging battle, you can keep a level head and use your abilities.

Just keep in mind- a lack of emotional control might mean a lack of magical control, as well. It's still something I'm having to re-learn myself, with the magic I've gotten here.

Now, I want you to try that- see if you can use and control your magic, first of all, before we get started really learning.
